Cumbia

Is Colombian, the name coming from the Guinean ‘cumbe’ dance. African percussion, rhythms, Spanish structure and American melancholic melodies combine to create “cumbia”. Once danced by a woman lifting her skirt flirtingly and simultaneously pushing a man away and enticing him closer, now it is commonly danced by troupes of women.
